<\/a><\/p>\nEl 7 de junio de 1892, en sesi\u00f3n plenaria del Ayuntamiento presidido por su alcalde Diego Orozco Rosa, \u201cse acord\u00f3 celebrar el d\u00eda diez del actual mes una funci\u00f3n en honor de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de las Angustias, Patrona de esta Ciudad, sac\u00e1ndola procesionalmente y que haya durante dos d\u00edas iluminaciones\u201d<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Durante 132 a\u00f1os se ha estado celebrando esta procesi\u00f3n, posiblemente siguiendo el mismo recorrido hasta ahora conocido. Ayer, viendo a la Virgen bajar el \u201cBarrio de Jes\u00fas\u201d (calle de San Ram\u00f3n), quise reflejar esa imagen (que aqu\u00ed publico) porque tuve la sensaci\u00f3n de que, tanto esa como todas las que se hicieran en ese momento, y las tomadas en las calles del Sol y de la Plata, que se han a\u00f1adido a este nuevo itinerario, formar\u00edan parte de la historia de la procesi\u00f3n de Nuestra Patrona: nunca hasta ayer hab\u00eda hecho este recorrido, y no sabemos si se volver\u00e1 a repetir; en todo caso, el momento de ayer siempre ser\u00e1 el primero.<\/p>\n
La Virgen de las Angustias fue elegida como Patrona de Vera el 14 de febrero de 1891, fecha en la que se firm\u00f3 en Roma el correspondiente certificado por la Sagrada Congregaci\u00f3n de Ritos. El hecho lo comunica el alcalde Bartolom\u00e9 Soler Clemente con estas palabras: \u201cha sido resuelto satisfactoriamente el expediente formado por este Ayuntamiento declarando a la Sant\u00edsima Virgen de las Angustias como Patrona principal de esta Ciudad, juntamente con San Cleof\u00e1s\u201d<\/b>.<\/p>\n
En 1806 se vive una situaci\u00f3n extra\u00f1a por lo inusual del hecho. A causa del mal estado de su ermita, la Hermandad estableci\u00f3 un orden para que la Virgen fuera recibida en casas de los vecinos, evitando as\u00ed que pudiera sufrir da\u00f1os en caso de derrumbe de su capilla que, como qued\u00f3 constancia en el acta de la junta de gobierno, celebrada ese a\u00f1o, se encontraba en estado ruinoso. Este \u201cperegrinar\u201d de la imagen da\u00f1a la sensibilidad del secretario de la Hermandad, Antonio Narciso Navarro, que dice indignado no poder permitir que \u201cla Efigie de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora y las, dem\u00e1s de la Cofrad\u00eda anden rodando indecentemente por las casas particulares donde tienen la bondad de recogerlas\u201d<\/b>. Sin duda el secretario exageraba porque nadie puede creer que una imagen tan venerada por los veratenses no fuera custodiada con el mayor decoro, respeto y devoci\u00f3n. Posiblemente, su intenci\u00f3n fuera espolear a los vecinos para que se esforzaran en la reconstrucci\u00f3n del templo. Malos tiempos para pedir sacrificios econ\u00f3micos.<\/p>\n La Virgen siempre estuvo iluminada como lo prueba el elevado gasto en aceite y cera para, como dice una partida del libro de cuentas de 1799, \u201calumbrar constantemente a la soberana imagen de la Virgen en la capilla\u201d<\/b>, gasto que se repite anualmente. Justo un siglo m\u00e1s tarde, en 1905, el hermano mayor de la Hermandad, Francisco Montoro Reyes, colabora econ\u00f3micamente para que fuera posible la instalaci\u00f3n de la luz el\u00e9ctrica en su ermita, y Francisco Enciso Prieto, administrador de la compa\u00f1\u00eda de electricidad en Vera, se ofrece para pagar los materiales necesarios y el consumo de la luz que iluminar\u00eda el Viernes Santo a un Crucificado que se encontraba en la capilla de la Virgen, y del que nada se sabe ni ha llegado hasta nosotros.<\/p>\n En octubre de 1973 la Virgen de las Angustias fue coronada por el p\u00e1rroco D. Juan Fern\u00e1ndez Mar\u00edn en un solemne acto de coronaci\u00f3n celebrado en la plaza Mayor. Recuperaba as\u00ed su corona, aunque fuera una r\u00e9plica de la original, desaparecida d\u00e9cadas antes.<\/p>\n Comenzaba a remediarse la penuria que tradicionalmente han padecido Hermandades y Cofrad\u00edas, al menos en nuestra ciudad.<\/p>\n <\/a> Gabriel Flores Garrido.

10 DE JUNIO: D\u00cdA GRANDE EN VERA<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/a>JUNE 10: BIG DAY IN VERA<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>Article by Gabriel Flores Garrido, official chronicler of Vera, about the festival of the Patroness of Vera.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>On June 7, 1892, in a plenary session of the City Council chaired by its mayor Diego Orozco Rosa, \"it was agreed to celebrate on the tenth of the current month a function in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows, Patroness of this City, carrying her out in a procession and there will be illuminations for two days.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>This procession has been celebrated for 132 years, possibly following the same route known until now. Yesterday, watching the Virgin go down the \u201cBarrio de Jes\u00fas\u201d (San Ram\u00f3n Street), I wanted to reflect that image (which I publish here) because I had the feeling that, both that one and all the others that were made at that time, and the Taken in the streets of Sol and La Plata, which have been added to this new itinerary, they would form part of the history of the procession of Our Patron<\/span>ess<\/span>: never until yesterday had <\/span>she<\/span> done this route, and we do not know if it will be repeated again; In any case, yesterday's moment will always be the first.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>The Virgin of Sorrows was chosen as Patroness of Vera on February 14, 1891, the date on which the corresponding certificate was signed in Rome by the Sacred Congregation of Rites. The fact is communicated by Mayor Bartolom\u00e9 Soler Clemente with these words: \u201cthe file formed by this City Council declaring the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows as the main Patroness of this City, together with San Cleof\u00e1s, has been satisfactorily resolved.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>In 1806 a strange situation occurred due to the unusual nature of the event. Due to the poor condition of its hermitage, the Brotherhood established an order for the Virgin to be received in the neighbors' houses, thus preventing it from suffering damage in the event of the collapse of its chapel, which, as was recorded in the record of the meeting of government, done that year, was in a ruinous state. This \u201cpilgrimage\u201d of the image damages the sensitivity of the secretary of the Brotherhood, Antonio Narciso Navarro, who says indignantly that he cannot allow \u201cthe Effigy of Our Lady and the rest of the Brotherhood to roll indecently through the private houses where they have the goodness of collecting them.\u201d Without a doubt the secretary was exaggerating because no one can believe that an image so revered by the people of Vera was not guarded with the greatest decorum, respect and devotion. Possibly, his intention was to encourage the neighbors to make efforts to rebuild the temple. Bad times to ask for economic sacrifices.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a><\/a>The Virgin was always illuminated as proven by the high expenditure on oil and wax to, as an entry in the 1799 account book says, \u201cto constantly illuminate the sovereign image of the Virgin in the chapel\u201d, an expense that is repeated annually. Just a century later, in 1905, the <\/span><\/span><\/span>higher<\/span><\/span> brother of the Brotherhood, Francisco Montoro Reyes, collaborated financially to make it possible to install electric lights in h<\/span><\/span><\/span>er<\/span><\/span><\/span> hermitage, and Francisco Enciso Prieto, administrator of the electricity company in Vera, <\/span><\/span><\/span>he<\/span><\/span><\/span> is offered to pay for the necessary materials and the consumption of the electricity that would illuminate on <\/span><\/span><\/span>Holy<\/span><\/span><\/span> Friday a Crucified figure who was in the chapel of the Virgin, and about whom nothing is known or has reached us.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>In October 1973 the Virgin of Angustias was crowned by the parish priest D. Juan Fern\u00e1ndez Mar\u00edn in a solemn coronation ceremony held in the Plaza Mayor. Thus he recovered h<\/span>er <\/span>crown, although it was a replica of the original, which had disappeared decades before.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>The shortage that Brotherhoods and Brotherhoods have traditionally suffered was beginning to be remedied, at least in our city.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>Gabriel Flores Garrido.
